Re: I need some painting tips

if you mean digital camo like the new acu's i dont think u can do it with paint. not and make it look right. be alot easier if u had a wrap made.

Re: I need some painting tips

yea like sdfkillz said, i think your better off going with a wrap for that, it would be a little tricky to do the digital camo with paint

Re: I need some painting tips

yea only thing other than gettin a wrap that I could suggest that you do is paint your base color then make a stencil of a shitload of tiny squares (digital) and have to cut them all out individually then just paint another color with the stencil you made, let it dry then do another color and so on......Giant pain in the *** to cut all them out but if you got the time and patience to do that then there you go. I actually was gonna do it on my 50 since it isnt that much to paint but didnt do it just ended up gettin digital camo fabric for the seat and bar pad, you can just google image "digital camo stencil" and it will bring up a couple you can print out and try and use. Best of luck, if you end up doin it post some pictures of that ****.

Re: I need some painting tips

If your asking how to do this with paint I would suggest not trying it. Small stencils and an air brush with countless hours. Wrap it

Re: I need some painting tips

You could paint it on, just takes time and random stencils

I did this busa. Army stars on the sides and tail, urban camo down the upper through the tank
